Port Oshawa Marina

Port Oshawa Marina closed its doors over seven years ago. Since then, debate has ranged about what to do with Oshawa(a)s harbourfront. The marina once housed a clubhouse, showering facilities as well as a swimming pool. The channel led out to Lake Ontario just adjacent to Lakeview Park. As a former member, sailing out on Canada Day to see the fireworks amid a small sea of silent sail and motor boats was one of life(a)s better moments. Now the marina sits silent and still.

Access to the site is easy, but beware of wild parsnip along the way. I even encountered a couple of people fishing while I was walking in. Down by the crane sits a nondescript building that in it's time, must have been a very nice clubhouse, complete with bar, dance floor, and kitchen facilities. Vandals have been at work inside, smashing all the glass & putting holes in the walls. Someone even started a small fire on the floor.

I found the Visitor Parking and Dock 1 signs to be ironic, given what has become of this location.
